antiX Core and weekend updates

While I occasionally update the system I am working on during the course of the week, for the most part, I do the majority of my software updates, installations, configuration changes, and overall system management on Friday, Saturday, and occasionally even on Sunday.

Yesterday I downloaded the most recent release candidate for Slackware 14.0, and I also upgraded packages on a few systems I have installed on my Gateway 2000 Series Model PA6A 17" portable system.

Today, I am running antiX Core on the Gateway, deciding whether and when I am ready to switch to the Lenovo 3000 Series Model Y410 laptop, where I install most of my experimental systems. That's where I am contemplating installing Slackware 14.0 Release Candidate 5, actually in the form of Slackware-CURRENT, for those who may be familiar with that.

I also discovered that the last set of changes I made on my PCLinuxOS setup removed or disabled my wireless firmware, so wireless no longer works with PCLinuxOS at the moment, so I have to decide whether I want to fix that now or later. (Maybe I'll just do it now and get it over with)!

Meanwhile, antiX Core just keeps doing what I ask it to do; it's a comfortable system for me to use, since I personally customized it to suit my particular needs and interests. IF I feel lazy, I may stay here... nah, issues like wireless firmware not working right tend to knaw at me, so I'll want to get that resolved ASAP.

Most of the blog topics are Linux and open software related, but there may occasionally be entries about Project Management and other technology subjects.
One interest I have is in describing and categorizing the multitude of Linux distributions and where they can be effectively used.
